Fill a large pot halfway full with water and place over high heat. Add a few pinches of salt to the water if desired. Bring water to a boil. Carefully add the sweet potatoes and boil until almost fork-tender, 4-5 minutes. Add the green beans and cook for three more minutes, until bright green and tender. Drain and let cool slightly. Add to a large bowl along with the chickpeas, kidney beans, and onion. Stir gently to combine, trying not to break up the sweet potatoes.
To a small bowl, add the olive oil, vinegar, pure maple syrup, mustard, salt, pepper, and parsley. Whisk until combined. Pour over the potatoes and beans. Toss gently to coat veggies with dressing. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately for a warm potato salad (my preference) or chill until ready to serve.

Preheat oven to 375° Add chopped potatoes to a baking sheet, toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread potatoes in a single layer and roast in the oven for 40 minutes or until soft and golden brown.

While the potatoes are roasting, chop your veggies and prepare dressing by placing all ingredients into a blender. Blend until smooth, set aside.

When potatoes are done roasting, remove from oven and allow them to cool for 5-10 minutes.

Place mustard greens in a large salad bowl, top with slightly cooled roasted potatoes, tomatoes, onions and pour ½ cup dressing over salad. Toss to combine. Taste and season with extra salt and pepper if needed.

Add olive oil to a large stock pot and heat over medium heat.
Add in garlic and onion. Cook for 3-5 minutes until tender.
Add in the red bell pepper and cook for another 2 minutes.

Add in the tomatoes, cauliflower, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes (be sure to submerge the cauliflower chunks in the tomato liquid as much as possible -- it will seem like there is too much cauliflower, but there is just enough)
Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and allow the mixture to simmer vigorously for 25 minutes.

Turn off heat and purée mixture with an immersion blender for 5-10 minutes or until the mixture is very smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, you can add the mixture to a blender in batches or a large food processor (return soup to pan once done blending).

Add in salt (to taste) and nutritional yeast. Simmer on low for an additional 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. If soup is thicker than desired, add in 1/2 to 1 cup water and whisk into soup.

Ladle soup into bowls. Drizzle with olive oil and top with chopped fresh basil, if desired.

Add the oats and 250ml water to a pan. Bring to the boil, then turn down the heat and stir regularly for 4–5 minutes.
Stir in three-quarters of the fruit and add the milk.
Bring the heat back up, mix well and put into a bowl.
Top with the rest of the fruit and the almonds, then serve.
